Number 1 on Amazon Prime and starring Alan Ritchson (Jack Reacher), how bad can it be?

Very... headache

Trailer alone put me off. Unless I start to read comments saying it is brilliant, think it will one i don’t bother with.

What staggers me is that this is the kind of mush that makes it to the number one spot!

We complain about the dross that's put out these days, but it's clear that it's what the majority seem to crave.

I suspect it's at number 1 because Amazon put it there.

Apparently Two And A Half Men and The Mentalist are 'trending' too *


* 'trending' = being pushed by Amazon because they have so little new content.

I like mindless action dross. Or mindless Hallmark chick flick dross.
I don’t watch TV or films to have to think. Show me easily watchable nice boy and girl end up together or st blowing up, cars going sideways and a nonchalant irreverent approach to gratuitous exaggerated violence.

See also the sort of st that ends up Top 10 on Netflix.


I saw the big banner ad for this thing on Amazon and it was enough to make me stay clear, sounds like I made the right choice.

Surely it's just Amazon or Netflix going 'Look what's new this week' and everyone clicking on it to see what it's like, even if it's crap. Every time some one clicks on it, it counts as a hit, get enough you make No1

I have a really high tolerance for crap films, it is something of a recurring joke with the family. I managed the first 15 minutes before I switched off.
